From Vigie Airport: (Airport code SLU)
Approximate distance to the hotel is 10 kilometers. Depart the airport and turn left onto the main road toward Rodney Bay.
Proceed through Rodney Bay and follow signs to Cap Estate and Cotton Bay Village.

Note that SLU does not accommodate jet service, so a connecting flight from San Juan or Miami on a turbo prop is required. Jet service is available into Hewanorra Airport (code UVF) in the south, but requires about a 90 minute transfer to the resort.
